In the accompanying drawingsz-Figurc 1, is a view of a window frame and sash showing the screen and bars raised; Fig. 2, 1s a sectional'plen view on the line 2-2, Fig.

. 11., is a perspective view showing a detail of the screen; and is; 12, is a view o'f a. modi fication.

This invention is especially applicable to windows where it is wished to raise the lower sash and yet make the Window proof against sneak thieves and where it is desired to use a fly screen.

Permanent window bars are objectionable as they are unsightlywhen the window is down and oftentimes it is not necessary to either use the screen or the bars. By my invention I am enabled to raise and lower the lower sash without the bars or screen, or with the screen alone attached, or with both the screen and bars.

A is the window frame, B is the lower sash and C is the 11 per sash. These sashes are arranged to sli e in the ordinary ways of the window frame and are preferably made as shown in Fig. 2, the sash B, for instance, has

.side niembersb, b which can bedetachably secured to the main sash so that these side members can be made of hard wood if desired in order to make a neat fit in the ways.

The window frame has three sash weight wells'a, o, a; in. the present instance, a, being the well for the counterweight of the lower sash, of the well for the counterweight, of the uppersash, and a the well for the bar 01 as clearly shown-in Fig. (3. plate (1 overlaps the projecting portion. A

counterweight ol' the bars. If spring bal 'ances are used. in place of the weights it will be understood that this construction will be I dispensed with.

Directly under the window frame A is a box A l'or the reception of the screen I) and the set of bars E.

The sill A is slotted at o for the screen and perl'orated at a for thebars, A is a detachable section of the sill also perforated for the bars and recessed for the head e to which the bars are attached. tion of the sill extends over the slot o in the sill leaving room only for the body of the screen to pass while the slot a is of suilicicnt size'for the assa e ol' the bottom bar of the screen so t at w ion the section A is detached the screen and here can be rernoved.

The screen 1) is the ordinary fly screen havin' a bard at each ed e Fi n 11, which r X? 7 Z":

is turned over the-raw edge of the screen. The upper end'd of the body portion of the screen is clamped to a hoad plaie d by a 'lhis of the sill, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 8, and

the plate is turned upat d" and iits against the inner surface of the lower portion of the lower sash, At each end of the plate d? are projecting lugs d perforated to receive the cits f, fwhich are carried by the lower sash B and which look the screen I) to the lower sash. The inner ends of these bolts pass each other and are toothed for a certain distance, and engaging the toothed portion of the bolts is a toothed s indle f XllQUIltBQl lll the lower portion of the sash vB and provided with an operating knob F. In place of-=tlie knob F in some instances a detachable key the spindle or H may be used for turning wheel f.

The. ways of the frame A preferably have vertical grooves g to allow the bolts f, f to project far enough so that the screen frame will not slip oil the bolts, although where the projecting portions (1 of the screen frame are made heavy the bolts may only be projected into the opening'in the screen frame, thehslots in this instance being dispensed wit In some instances in addition to or in place of using the slots, holes may be bored into the frame A at intervals so that the bolts can be shot into the holes, and this construction will not only look the screen to the sash The detachable sec-.

loo

25 though these slotsmay' bedispensed with but will also look the sash to the frame. Thisconstruction is shown in Fig.'1 2. Other means for locking the lower sash to the frame may be usedwithout departing from my invention. i The set of bars Eiconsists of a head e having upturne d members 6'', and a series of bars e the ends of the members e have two erforations at their upperends, one for r the olts h, h and the other-for theattachment of the counterbalance chain a which passes over a pulley at the top'andfrom which is suspended a weight e, i! igs. 3 and 9.

vThe bars a are attached to the head e'by riveting or othersuitable means, and there may be as many-of these vbars as. desired.

In the present instance bolts h, h are mounted in the upper end of the lower sash B and a toothedjspmdle or wheelh'engages the toothed. sections ofythese belts in the same manner as the spindlef. A knob His provided fer projecting or withdrawing the bolts. in 'this instance I have shown longitudinal slots 9', in the frame for the reception of the ends'of the bolts hflz, al-

. when .itis desii ed not to project theilooltsi v tion desired? through the members er thebais By projecting the bolts the bars are attached .the upper sash whenthe lower sash is raise l have usedj the ordinary sash fastening, as illustrated in Fig. 4, .for securing the two sashes together but any suitable lock may be used to lbdk the .upper, sash in any posi- It will be seen that b' Imy'invention I make a frame which to a ap earances is of theordin'ary construction an in which the lower, sash can be raised and lowered in the ordinary manner without the screen or the bars. When it is desired to use only the screen the lower bolts f, fare rejected b simply turning the knob Glw en the sea is down, after which the-sash canberaised with the screen, attached thereto, thebars remainin below the sill. W hen it is desired to raise t e bars the sash is lowered and the upper bol'tswiare projected by turning the knob H and on-ra sing the sas the bars will be raised as well' pis the screen and the lock for the bars cann'h't be tamperedwith.

" When thejsash B is raised, as illustrated in Fig. 9, the plate (11 forming the head of the screen D'acts as a shield and continuation of the sill throwing ofi any water which may lodge on the sill. When the screen bars are raised the sill itself is so formed as to allow water to flow away, the heads act the bars resting in a step or recess at the edge of the sill, as clearly shown in the enlarged views, Fisi8and9.

' t will be understood that this invention mabe used in connection with the upper sas as well as the lower sash, the parts being simply inverted, and in this instance it may not be necessary to make the screen and bars as long as the screen and bars of the lower sash, as all that is necessary is to allow for a slight moyement of the upper sash for Q ventilation.

- I claim: v

1; The combination with a window frame having'a sliding sash and a pocket, of a screen adapted to occupy said ocket, a plate having upturned ends to w oh the upper edge of said screen is secured, locking means carried by the sash for engaging said plate to detachably' connect said screen with the sash, and means for operating'said lock, the

window frame having recesses to receive the locking means .andsupport said screen at different heights. 1
